Thread: power brooms

Hey guys.
what would be the better choice for general spring cleanup: A power paddle (trimmer style) or a power broom (walk behind). I know the ideal setup would be to have both (paddle for tight areas, and walk behind for open), but the finances are kind of tight, and I could really use one for cleanups. Which one does a better job on cleaning a lawn of sand, gravel, sticks, etc...?
So what would be the overall better choice?
Thanks, hope the season is going alright for everyone.

just bought the attachment for my shin. (paddle style) and love it! took about 5 minutes to get used to it but man does it save time. is a little heavy after a day of using it, hope this helps you some

I bought a shindaiwa power head and bought the power broom attachment. I don't know how I worked without it. It makes spring cleanups a lot easier. They work great getting the sand out of grass and other areas.

I have to echo attachment with a bristle broom. It gets every grain of sand and rocks out of the grass and is great on pavement. I made my money back with it in two days. Buy one. The walkbehind sweepers are hard to get the hang of.(for me at least)

Ive never used a stick power broom, but that sounds like it would take a heck of alot of time to do a lawn with one. We have a sweepster power broom attachment for and older hustler that we have. Power angles, and is strong as anything. Saves a bunch of time on large properties.
